I was 10 when they released it... so many memories! This game was HUGE, about 15 Mb!! And I just keep listening to the music without stop. Thank you for the video!
what i like most about this game is how the "complexity" of the presentation makes up for the utter simplicity of the gameplay. yet the game is still amazing. you'd have to have been a kid in 93 to understand.
didn't you know the keys for converting lasers into shields and vice versa (i did find them late in the game but its awesome basically i sacrifice all my lasers to shields and put them both on recharge
Are any of you using dosbox to run the collector's edition cd? How do you set up dosbox so that it will run the game, because I've tried multiple times with no success.
Great game, unfortunately you had to play thru one mission before able to get to the next one and some missions were so tough you had to do it again, and again, and again until you give up in frustration and go to bed. 5 minutes later you get up and you try it again.
I'm just 15 and I still am in love with this this was my dads game then he passed it on to me I wish that ther was multiplayer but this is still easily one of the best games ever ps I put 200hours in to it never board
The video doesn't transmit the full power of the game.
There is no interest on simulators lately. In fact, the game industry is turning more into a tv station than games. Most gamers expect brilliant graphics, but are incapable of invest 2 or 3 days into a game investigation. I used 3 years to complete Tie Fighter; most games this days are expected to be 20 hs.
@ghos7bear I am currently playing arma II. Still lack the patience to handle 10 teenagers willing to kill just everything that moves, but working on it.
I missed this kind of game where you don't just jump into the game and play..instead you take your time through all fascinating briefing and eye candy scenes
Can you help? Im looking for a game that was like this, but had slightly better graphics (win95 era) and didnt have that menu screen where they talk to you. you just got text. And you could fly both rebels and imperial
@blackor237 download dosbox. read the instructions for mounting drives including CD drives. you have to mount your hard drive as well as the CD drive, for example:
mount c C:\xwing [return]
mount e E:\ -t cdrom [return] or whatever drive letter your cd drive is
then type E: [return]
install [return]
after install go back to dosbox and type C: [return] then xwingcd [return] and enjoy!
If you don't want to emulate, you should get X-Wing Collector's Series or X-Wing Trilogy. However, those versions have graphical glitches on Windows 7.
@MRMilade If you just want to play the game, you should pick up X-Wing Collector Series or X-Wing Trilogy for the PC. These contain remakes of X-Wing and TIE Fighter using the X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter engine. However, the colors will be messed up, especially on X-Wing and TIE Fighter doesn't work without Compatibility Mode and even then you need to switch it to 16-Bit color or the background will be yellow.
If you REALLY want the original, though, emulation is the only way.
@DasMadHatter Remind me what the market is for hardcore flight sims set in space again? Oh right, there's a nearly non-existent market. I also wish there was a remake but there aren't many (if any) companies that do any flight sims around anymore. It's a shame of the consolification of the games market.
@DasMadHatter Gotta get one thing straight: X-wing was the flight sim, Rogue Squadron was the arcade shooter. Everyone seems to think RS was another X-wing.
No. RS was the simplified version for the wussies too scared to handle a *real* X-wing.
For its time looks awesome, but god i hate the Star Wars universe. Every time i hear about Star Wars i want to eat a baby. A childish series that doesn't want to admit it.
Hey guys!! Can anyone tell me why neither my joystick nor my sound work for this game? I'm running it on XP, but everyone else seems to have no problem with it. Thanks, guys!!
Those were the games that I grew up on Tie Fighter, Duke Nukem, Doom, Wolfenstein, Heretic, Hexen, Descent, Quest for Glory 4, Kings Quest VI, Wing Commander 2, Warcraft 2, Sim City 2000, Police Quest 3, Leisure Suit Larry 5&6, Space Quest, Dark Forces, Freespace, Full Thottle, Alone in the Dark, Command & Conquer, Fallout, Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight. Many great games in the 90s, but the games now just don't appeal to me. Not the same style or appreciation for art or maybe im just nostalgic
LOL YOU MUST REGISTER!!! lol that used to piss me off, now i miss this game so much, awesome game! damn youngins nowadays will never appreciate this, mid 90'sm this was the best game
This game, Dark Forces, Rebel Assault, starcraft, and Counterstrike have played a big role in my life. I'm married now and have a kid on the way and am still a gamer lol. Play sc2, tf2, cs still lol. Oh yeah Command and Conquer and red alert played a big role in that too.
This game, Dark Forces, Rebel Assault, starcraft, and Counterstrike has played a big role in my life. I'm married now and have a kid on the way and am still a gamer lol. Play sc2, tf2, cs still lol.
I loved this game for the AMAZING action it was packing. Graphics were not perfect but the music was great although it did require an expensive sound card to play correctly (this video is based on low quality FM synthesis). In fact those Lucas Arts games had music tied to the script which is only possible through synthesis.
Most of all I liked it because of the memories of Star Wars. I was fortunate to play this game without first experiencing the new trilogy which fucked up these memories.
The first star wars game I played was Tie Fighter which was released a year after this game. Tie fighter improved on the game play of x-wing and you got to fight on the imperial side. I played tie fighter for hours and hours and have not seen a star wars game since that was as much fun. If you like these games then you will like the ace combat series on playstation because those are the games I started playing a few years after tie fighter got old.
Yup, I'm 36 now and this is still the best SW gameplay ever. Nothing has the detail like this game and I've yet to see metal awards like this game had... it made you feel like you were really important ;)
i had windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. i've tried to install the D-Fend Reloaded and it's not working.. it doesnt get into the game, but the setup is fine. please help to advice what should i do in order to play back this game!!?
i missed the old midi sounds where xwing 95 cd collector doesnt have, anyone who can help me what can i do to have the old midi when playing? the music is more exciting.
I wish they would bring this game back for the newer window versions like Vista and Win7. Make a collection edition called "Star Wars: Tie-Fighter Vs. X-Wing" bring both games into one package, then offering an online real time mission face off where you face real player vs player combat on the classic missions and hopefully have great new missions and heighten graphics all around.
i freakin loved this game! it's so sweet... just let that awesome MIDI music get your heart pumping. seriously, its pretty awesome for 1993 and just predates the unfortunate "era of ruining star wars forever".
i missed the digital sounds during action and music. each time u kill the enemy there's sound like an award of killing. and i like the picture of pilot.. where i can get this game back with digital sounds of the Dos version? i hate the collecter's edition where it used the music from the CD. it has no excitement! u get what i mean? it's about sound!
I remember my dad bought me this game and a joystick years and years ago, and the joystick was too sensitive to play with and made the game unplayable (due to the aim going everywhere on the screen). When I told my dad, he said it's supposed to be like that and that I needed to practise :/
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this mission maddeningly hard. You really, really felt like you'd accomplished something when you finally beat this one.
great game amazing graphics for the time n music. overall fucking amazing y are new games shit and have gigatera byte of data, this has no memory but kicks ass
Guys, one Question. I finished all tours of duty ans so on. But i have one fu+++ng enormous problem! When i play bwing tour of duty, i cant get to the third mission. When you evacuate the bwings, the thugs come in, but the bwings never jump to hyperspace. The corvette is doing its job, but never the bwings. Has anyone the same problem? I read its a bug. Hm, maybe someone has solved the prob. If so, please help!!!
Ah, playing this in the dark with a decent sound card...escorting a Mon Cal cruiser to safety knowing the empire could pounce any moment. Wonderful times!
YOU ARE MUST REGISTAR.*points rifle at you* It would be awesome if they remade this game, combined it with Star Wars Tie Fighter and at the main menu you can choose which side you would like to be on(like lego star wars did with the complete saga), and upgraded graphics.
does anyone know where I can still buy a joystick that would work with these older systems? I still have the working computer and game, but my joystick for that computer broke years ago.
aaaaaah,i loved this game,and tie fighter too!!it was a revelation to every starwars fan!!i pray to george lucas to authorize a rermake of this games!!!!
sasly,x-wing alliance wont run on new systems...:(
@bossinator666 Actually it will. I got it to run on my win7 64 bit system not too long ago. I can't remember where i found the fix. but i googled searched it for about an hour before i found the fix.
Whatever you do, don't fly straight! lol Death star run was fun even though easy. A few hard missions on here, not many. Mostly the ones you had to protect something.
If memory serves, if you hit i it changes your display to a targeting crosshair that displays where you target is, making it much easier to target things at a distance.
@izvn Lol! I'm in that boat too. I loved this mission. I also vaguely remember a bonus mission with ships named Renhoek, and Stimpson J'Kat. Seriously, why do I remember that?
@izvn totally agree, i remember this mission too, 3 squadrons of different wings going at it, used to go after the star destroyer, all engine power for like 6 minutes lol took it down one time, o man, i miss this game
Lol...did the graphics really look like that, in my mind i remember it being so much better. Nonetheless, just amazing gameplay...a remake would be so sweet.
@luyendao i was thinking the same thing, but i guess when ur used to newer games old games just dont cut it anymore even tho i would still rock the shit outta this game :P
Man, i never sat at just 50 klicks on the speed dial. When i used to play this game i was a mad man on the energy management, but speed was always paramount for me.
you knew you were playing a SW game when a star destroyer entered the sector and DUM DUM DUM DUM DE DUMM DUM DE DUMMMMMM!
LucasArts listen remake this game for ps3 and 360 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no rogue squadron stuff proper cockpit simulation this or TIE FIGHTER
@NorthernStar1982 Yes, i've never seen a game able to better match up the in-game score with what was going on in the mission so slickly as these games. It was incredible, and the toons were great. When reinforcements jumped into the system, your heart would SWELL with that music!
@NorthernStar1982 They never will. Those games would be too complicated for modern console gamers. If you think you could handle them, you should get a PC!
This brings me to the time of 256 color, 4mb ram, soundblaster pro, thrustmaster joystick and (proper) game manuals. We had the much sleeker, modern day 3.5"s floppies in hard plastic with write protection BUILT into them! None of those fancy cd-roms, though (I wonder if someday they'd make the laser go blue...I like blue). Anyway, the best thing was I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY BILLS!!!
That's because you had the new & updated "Collector's CD-ROM". Some of us first played it as a DOS-based game (installed with good old floppy discs). The original DOS game had a Midi-file soundtrack. :-)
This Game was awesome! It's just such a pity it needs EMS Memory to run.....Still I think it would make an excellent comeback if Lucasarts would re-make it.
I remember my X-Wing returned with a lot of holes xD

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this mission maddeningly hard. You really, really felt like you'd accomplished something when you finally beat this one.

if you still have the floppy disc you can download dosbox.
it's a free program that emulates dos perfectly.

Guys, one Question. I finished all tours of duty ans so on. But i have one fu+++ng enormous problem! When i play bwing tour of duty, i cant get to the third mission. When you evacuate the bwings, the thugs come in, but the bwings never jump to hyperspace. The corvette is doing its job, but never the bwings. Has anyone the same problem? I read its a bug. Hm, maybe someone has solved the prob. If so, please help!!!
Must finish all tours, before i get old and die:)

This was awesome for a 1993 game. Remember Doom 1 had not even came out, so '3D' graphics were still something technically incredible.

YOU ARE MUST REGISTAR.*points rifle at you* It would be awesome if they remade this game, combined it with Star Wars Tie Fighter and at the main menu you can choose which side you would like to be on(like lego star wars did with the complete saga), and upgraded graphics.

Whatever you do, don't fly straight! lol Death star run was fun even though easy. A few hard missions on here, not many. Mostly the ones you had to protect something.

If memory serves, if you hit i it changes your display to a targeting crosshair that displays where you target is, making it much easier to target things at a distance.

NorthernStar1982 1 year ago 15
@NorthernStar1982 Yes, i've never seen a game able to better match up the in-game score with what was going on in the mission so slickly as these games. It was incredible, and the toons were great. When reinforcements jumped into the system, your heart would SWELL with that music!

@NorthernStar1982 They never will. Those games would be too complicated for modern console gamers. If you think you could handle them, you should get a PC!

A Rant comming, dude. This is the legend that I used to play to death back in the 90s.
This is PC gaming in the golden years, along with Tie Fighter, Duke Nukem, Doom, Heretic, and Hexen.
Guess, for now, I have to use DosBox, and hope my X-Wing CD still works.

This brings me to the time of 256 color, 4mb ram, soundblaster pro, thrustmaster joystick and (proper) game manuals. We had the much sleeker, modern day 3.5"s floppies in hard plastic with write protection BUILT into them! None of those fancy cd-roms, though (I wonder if someday they'd make the laser go blue...I like blue). Anyway, the best thing was I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY BILLS!!!

That's because you had the new & updated "Collector's CD-ROM". Some of us first played it as a DOS-based game (installed with good old floppy discs). The original DOS game had a Midi-file soundtrack. :-)
